Team Manitoba at the 1985 Canada Summer Games was one of four Manitoba teams to win a silver medal. This team was coached by Al Robertson, Ray Mutcheson, and Mike Labossiere. The players were from the Manitoba Junior League and several Senior leagues, including AAA Redboine Senior League and the AAA Manitoba Senior League. They lost their opening game to Ontario, then won three straight over P.E.I., Saskatchewan, and Newfoundland. This meant they finished second in their pool. They crossed over and beat Nova Scotia in a semi-final, then faced Ontario in the final. In the ninth inning, Manitoba may have scored the winning run on a very close play at home plate. The call went against them. In the extra inning, Ontario scored to take gold.
